$3 billion a year industry — legalized marijuana in Pennsylvania?

The legalization of marijuana for adult recreation use may be a matter of when, not if, for the Pennsylvania General Assembly.


It is not necessary for us to go about this blindly when 18 other states have gone through this process already,” Regan said.


"This would be historic legislation for the state of Pennsylvania, and critical from a revenue perspective going forward,” said Sen. James R. Brewster, D-Allegheny.


If Pennsylvania creates a legal market, though, DUI laws will have to adjust. Currently, a driver can be charged with a DUI if they have marijuana in their system, even if they aren’t impaired. Sober, unimpaired drivers are still at risk of getting a DUI charge.


We all knew all this information years ago. So the question now is, who is going to benefit most from that enormous boost in tax revenue?
